Cuijk is one of the oldest settlements in the Netherlands, tracing its history back to Roman times when it was known as the fortress Ceuclum. This rich past is brought to life at the Museum Ceuclum, housed in the tower of the Gothic St. Martin's Church, which gives panoramic views over the Meuse river. The town is an appealing center with a welcoming atmosphere, shops, and restaurants. Its riverside location makes it a great spot for water sports and cycling tours along the banks. Every year, Cuijk is the first place where walkers of the Nijmegen Four Days Marches, the world's largest walking event, cross the Meuse. The town is easily accessible by train from Nijmegen or by car via the A73 motorway. Regional gastronomy benefits from the proximity to farmlands, offering fresh local produce. The best time to visit is in summer to enjoy the river life, or during the Nijmegen Marches in July to experience the festive atmosphere.
